Teddy and Larry,
I ended up using:
#CreateDate(Mid(CDate,find("YEAR",CDate)+5,Find(",MONTH=",CDATE)-find("YEAR",CDate)-5),Mid(CDate,find("MONTH",CDate)+6,find(",WEEK_OF_YEAR",CDate)-find(",MONTH=",CDate)-5),Mid(CDate,find("DAY_OF_MONTH",CDate)+13,find(",DAY_OF_YEAR",CDate)-find("DAY_OF_MONTH",CDate)-13))#
Messy but it works.
Paul

Paul,
The data has many informative pieces in it.
Specifically, java.util.SimpleTimeZone gives you your time zone
considerations as explained:
http://72.5.124.55/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/java/util/SimpleTimeZone.html
Now it has both sun.util.calendar.ZoneInfo and java.util.SimpleTimeZone. I
suspect this is to allow for backwards compatibility of time zones from java
versions 1.3-1.5.
I believe 1031295600000 is the number of milliseconds from 1970. Don't
quote me. =)
I would use list and struct manipulation to get the latter portion of the
code:
<cfscript>
/**
* Converts a delimited list of key/value pairs to a structure.
*
* @param list List of key/value pairs to initialize the structure
with. Format follows key=value.
* @param delimiter Delimiter seperating the key/value pairs.
Default is the comma.
* @return Returns a structure.
* @author Rob Brooks-Bilson ([EMAIL PROTECTED])
* @version 1.0, December 10, 2001
*/
function ListToStruct(list){
var myStruct=StructNew();
var i=0;
var delimiter=",";
if (ArrayLen(arguments) gt 1){
delimiter = arguments[2];
}
for (i=1; i LTE ListLen(list, delimiter); i=i+1){
StructInsert(myStruct, ListFirst(ListGetAt(list, i, delimiter), "="),
ListLast(ListGetAt(list, i, delimiter), "="));
}
return myStruct;
}
</cfscript>
